Recently I have seen ridiculous advertisements for an all electric GMC Hummer as the ultimate SUV. I can just imagine people going overlanding in such a vehicle - running out of charge in the middle of nowhere. It reminds me of a sight at a Tampa beach. There was a guy on a small electric bicycle pulling a bicycle trailer. In the bicycle trailer was a gasoline generator supplying the power for his bicycle. Will the Hummer be pulling a trailer with a generator and supply of gasoline?
